When a tropical cyclone is located within the warning area of 10 to 30 N, 105 to 125 E, the Hong Kong Observatory will issue the tropical cyclone warning for shipping. The warning bulletin provides mariners with a wide range of tropical cyclone information, including analysis and forecast of the location, intensity and movement of the tropical cyclone as well as wind and wave information in its vicinity. Hitherto the tropical cyclone warning for shipping is issued in English only. Commencing today (11 August 2004), the Chinese version of the shipping warning is also available from the Observatory's website once every three hours for use by personnel of shipping companies, mariners and members of the public who operate in Chinese. The public can access the Chinese version of the tropical cyclone warning for shipping on the Observatory's website via the following link :
